How Christina’s approaches work online
Attachment-based work focuses on how early bonds affect current relationships. Online sessions use conversation and reflection to identify patterns and try new ways of connecting that feel safer and clearer. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and test different behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood. These tools translate well to video and phone sessions where thought records and behavior experiments can be planned and reviewed together.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Christina will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped in the past, then suggest a mix of techniques to try. Together they will check in on progress and adjust methods as needed so the plan fits the person’s life and goals.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and share screen tools for worksheets. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging provide brief check-ins, homework support, and a way to stay connected between longer sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, and daily demands.
